The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

The Linguistics Program at Carleton College seeks to hire a specialist in Phonetics/Phonology for a half year visiting position (rank open), beginning in early January and ending in June, 2009. The successful candidate will teach three courses over the winter and spring trimesters. In the winter term, the visitor will offer Ling 217: Phonetics and Phonology, a second-level course. In the spring term, the visitor will offer Ling 317: Topics in Phonology, our highest level phonology course, plus a second course chosen in consultation with members of the program. The candidate should be committed to excellence in teaching undergraduates in a liberal arts environment. We particularly seek applicants interested in teaching a diverse student body.

Carleton College is a small, highly selective liberal arts college 45 miles south of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Linguistics Program is small, but exuberant. It regularly sends students to a wide range of postgraduate activity, including prominent graduate schools in linguistics.

Salary is competitive, and based on experience. The position includes benefits, such as health care. Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and a one-page statement of ideas for the courses to the application address listed below.

Carleton College is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. We are committed to developing our faculty to better reflect the diversity of our student body and American society. Women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
